The Batman Movie

So, I finally went to see the new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. I'd like to call this a Watch This or See This post, but in reality, it was kind of a big snooze fest for me, which is sad because I totally love Batman movies.

I don't know what it was I didn't like - how dark it was (which I don't necessarily mind, but it needs to be broken up with something), or how creepy the villain was. Oh, wait. I know. They kept referring to Batman as The Batman. What's that about? Why is he The Batman and not just Batman? Where did the the come from? Annoying.
